Property Description

TWO MOUNTAIN HOMES. ONE INCREDIBLE VIEW. ONE PRICE.

Priced BELOW tax value = instant equity opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Welcome to upscale mountain living at its best in the beautiful Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, ideally situated between Cashiers and Highlands. This Jeffrey Dungan-designed Low Country XL mountain cottage combines exceptional architecture, dramatic Whiteside Mountain views and the rare flexibility of TWO separate living spaces under one roof.

The upper residence captures breathtaking mountain views through walls of energy-efficient windows and French doors. Soaring cathedral ceilings create an open, airy feel, while 7” oak flooring adds warmth throughout. The beautifully appointed kitchen features Summit appliances, quartz countertops and Delta fixtures. A king-sized primary bedroom opens to its own private deck, while more than 500 sq ft of upper-level decking creates an incredible outdoor living space for entertaining, morning coffee or simply soaking in the view.

The lower residence offers its own private living area, kitchenette, king-sized bedroom, walk-in shower and covered deck—perfect for guests, extended family, multigenerational living or additional privacy when everyone comes to the mountains.

Cedar shake and vertical shiplap exterior details give the home distinctive mountain character, while dual Mitsubishi mini-split systems provide efficient year-round comfort. Multiple dry-storage areas add valuable functionality.

Located in the gated Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, you are perfectly positioned in the middle of Cashiers and Highlands, putting the shopping, dining, galleries, outdoor recreation and charm of both mountain communities within easy reach.
